Forecasts

Magic Petition (7/2), Seyouff (4/1), Seraj (7/1), Hot Cloud (7/1), Alsahib (15/2), Mr Precocious (17/2), Al Marmoom Gate (16/1), Ashger Asser (18/1), Royal Dubai (20/1), Silent Defense (20/1), Flying Hunter (20/1), Chief Of Navy (22/1), Mouneef (22/1), Oasis Moon (25/1), High Everest (25/1), H Borkan (28/1)

ALSAHIB made a promising debut and can get off the mark at the second attempt. Seraj makes plenty of appeal on paper and can emerge as best of the newcomers, while Mr Precocious is entitled to step up on his first effort.
